An Irish Homecoming....

Tami and I are in for a real treat tonight... we're taking my parents as an anniversary gift to see Cherish the Ladies in concert. The concert (An Irish Homecoming) is in Wilmington on the campus of UNCW and features an all-star gathering of musicians performing in the Celtic and Irish traditions adored the world over. Joined by champion dancers and former dance ensemble members of Riverdance and The Chieftains, the renowned Celtic band Cherish the Ladies, vocalists Maura O'Connell, Dermot Henry and Eddi Reader, and the accordion and guitar duo of Bohola will bring Ireland to Wilmington for one amazing evening.

I'll give a full report soon...
